1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( NCEEP) has completed stream and wetland
enhancement and preservation at the UT to Haw Beckom Restoration Site (hereafter referred to as the
"Site ") to assist in fulfilling stream and wetland mitigation goals in the area The Site is located
approximately 4 miles north of Burlington, in Alamance County, North Carolina This portion of
Alamance County is located within Cape Fear River Basin Hydrologic Unit and Targeted Local
Watershed 03030002030010 This report (compiled based on EEP's Procedural Guidance and Content
Requirements for EEP Monitoring Reports Version 13 dated 1/15/10) summarizes data for year 2 (2012)
monitoring
Site drainage features provide water quality function to an approximately 385 -acre (0 6- square mile)
watershed The Site is located within a NCEEP Targeted Local Watershed, in addition, this Site was
identified for preservation as part of Site 15 (Travis & Tickle 15 2) in the 2008 NCEEP Little Alamance
and Travis and Tickle Creek Local Watershed Plan (pages 72 -73) Site streams drain to a section of the
Haw River, which is currently on North Carolina's 2010 final 303(d) list for impaired
ecological /biological integrity of benthic communities
Prior to construction, Site land use consisted of cleared pasture for livestock grazing and disturbed forest
Site streams were characterized by eroding stream banks and a riparian buffer dominated by active
livestock pasture and disturbed forest
The primary goals of this mitigation project were obtained through removal of livestock from streams,
buffers, and wetlands, reforestation of pasture land with native species, and installation of forded
crossings to safely move animals and equipment across the Site The goals of this project focused on
improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring aquatic and riparian habitat and
include the following
• Reducing nonpoint sources of pollution by 1) fencing livestock from stream channels, buffers,
and wetlands, 2) ceasing the application of agricultural herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers, and
3) providing a vegetative buffer adjacent to streams and wetlands to treat surface runoff prior to
entering Site streams and ultimately the Haw River
• Reducing sedimentation /siltation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by a) reducing
bank erosion associated with livestock hoof shear on Site streams, b) filtering surface runoff and
reducing particulate matter deposition into tributaries, and c) providing a forested vegetative
buffer adjacent to Site streams and wetlands
• Promoting floodwater attenuation and improving stream stability by revegetating Site floodplams
to reduce floodwater velocities through increased frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing
Site floodplains
• Providing increased habitat for aquatic wildlife by 1) increasing organic matter, carbon export,
and woody debris in the stream corridor and 2) restoring shade to Site open waters
• Providing wildlife habitat including a minimum of a 50 -foot forested riparian corridor from the
top of each stream bank within a region of the state increasingly dissected by
residential /agricultural land use
• Protecting a Site identified in the 2008 Piedmont Triad Council of Government Little Alamance,
Travis, and Tickle Creek Watersheds Restoration Plan (PTCG 2008) for preservation due to its
location within a remote, rural area with increasing development pressure and appeal to
developers
UT Haw Beckom (final) Axiom Environmental, Inc. Monitoring Year 2 of 5 (2012)
EEP Project Number 92694 August 2012
Alamance County, North Carolina page 1

This project was constructed between December 23, 2010 and January 6, 2011 All stream channels have
a minimum of a 50 -foot wide riparian buffer from the top of each stream bank, which was verified in the
field on January 22, 2011 The project consisted of enhancement (level II) of 2200 linear feet of stream
and enhancement of 1 75 acres of riparian wetlands by removing livestock and reforesting with native
species The project includes preservation of 1465 linear feet of perennial stream and 0 05 acre of
riparian wetlands Site activities provide 1173 Stream Mitigation Units and 0 89 riparian riverme
Wetland Mitigation Units The Site will be protected by a permanent conservation easement held by the
State of North Carolina
Success criteria for stream enhancement will include 1) success of riparian vegetation, 2) bank stability,
and 3) documentation of two bankfull channel events One bankfull event was documented to date during
year 3 monitoring (2012) for a total of three documented bankfull events with at least one event
documented to occur in each monitoring year
Vegetation success criteria dictate that an average density of 320 stems per acre must be surviving in the
first three monitoring years Subsequently, 290 stems per acre must be surviving in year 4 and 260 stems
per acre in year 5 Stem counts will be based on an average of the evaluated vegetation plots Based on
the number of stems counted, average densities were measured at 737 stems per acre surviving in year 2
(2012) The dominant species identified at the Site were planted stems of cherrybark oak (Quercus
pagoda), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxu), and American elm (Ulmus americana) In addition,
each individual vegetation plot met success criteria when counting planted stems alone
In general herbaceous grasses within the Site, primarily tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum) in wetter areas
and fescue (Festuca sp ) in drier areas, is vigorous and overtopping many of the smaller planted trees As
a result some of the smaller trees died due to grasses and some of the larger trees died over the summer of
2011 from dry, hot conditions Despite these conditions, the majority of living planted trees are doing
well These issues should continue to be monitored closely in subsequent monitoring years The Site was
replanted as part of planting warranty on November 1, 2011 including 369 bare root seedlings were
planted in Swamp Forest areas and 28 bare root seedlings were planted in floodplain areas of the Site
Planted species and number of stems of each are as follows
Swamp Forest (bare root trees)
45 swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxu)
135 sycamore (Platanus occidentalis)
99 American elm (Ulmus americana)
90 willow oak (Quercus phellos)
TOTAL 369 trees
Floodplain (bare root trees)
13 sycamore (Platanus occidentahs)
10 American elm (Ulmus americana)
5 silky dogwood (Corpus amomum)
TOTAL 28 trees
Success criteria for wetland enhancement will include success of riparian vegetation Wetland
enhancement areas are jurisdictional, therefore, hydrology is not being monitored

Beaver continue to be active within the upstream portion of the Site APHIS personnel are providing
beaver management and continue to trap at the Site Beaver dam locations are depicted on the attached
figure Proactive measures to control beaver should continue, as necessary
Summary information and data related to the occurrence of items such as beaver or encroachment and
statistics related to performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in tables and
figures within this report's appendices Narrative background and supporting information formerly found
in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on EEPs website
All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request
2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Stream Assessment
Annual stream monitoring will include vegetation survival (Section 2 2 Vegetation Assessment) and a
photographic record of post - construction conditions Photographs of the enhancement (level II) reach
will be taken for each year of the monitoring period In addition, visual assessments of the stream will be
conducted by walking the length of stream and bankfull flow events will be documented during the
monitoring pei iod
2.2 Vegetation Assessment
Five vegetation plots were established and marked after construction with four foot metal U -bar post
demarking the corners with a ten foot, three - quarter inch PVC at the origin The plots are 10 meters
square and are located randomly within the Site These plots were surveyed in June 2012 for the year 2
(2012) monitoring season using the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4 2 (Lee et al
2008) (http //cvs bio unc edu /methods htm), results are included in Appendix C The taxonomic standard
for vegetation used for this document was Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding
Areas (Weakley 2008)
